I want to share with you my intention to step down as president of KAUST at the end of my term in November next year.  My President’s Circular announcing this to the KAUST community was sent this morning.  A global search for my successor will be initiated shortly, and until the next president comes on board, I shall continue to serve. 

Abaqus Pile-Soil interaction

Submitted by peshawa12 on

Hello all,

I am really thankful for any help . I am in a very bad situation with my research project because of Abaqus, so please if you know what is wrong with my model please help me please.

I have a pile 200mm long..diameter = 50 mm.. the pile embedded in sand... the depth of sand layer =450mm.. other dimensions are L= 960mm,, W= 480mm.

the pile fully embedded in the soil.. on the top it is connected to a pulling arm , the length of the pulling arm =330 mm , the diameter = 25mm..

the pile is laterally loaded so it is a 3D problem
